Fear Me Not Page #2

- Same to you, Tobias.

But he's so articulate.

Yes, but it annoyed me that he was

nervous. Usually he's really funny.

But that's what happens

when you meet The Incredible Hulk.

Do you think it's weird

that I've started seeing boys?

Yes.

Yes, I do.

I thought he'd be covered in tattoos,

but he was quite normal.

What's going on?

- What do you mean?

You've just been

really cheerful lately.

I'm always cheerful.

Aren't I?

Not until you feel well do you realize

how uncomfortable you used to be.

I thought for too long

that my life was blissful boredom.

For the first time in ages

I feel like I'm moving on.

Every moment seems intense.

The effect of the pills

has surprised me.

Deep down, I never thought

they would make any difference.

Get the f*** away from me,

you bastard. F***ing moron!

What the hell are you doing,

you f***ing psycho?

Mikael!

What are you doing?

Hi, Michael.

- Hello.

The door was open.

Come in.

Do you want a cup of tea?

No thanks.

I actually came to tell you that

we're abandoning the trial.

So I'll probably go on leave,

just Like you.

Why?

- The Limetech people freaked out.

They say we made the intervals

shorter than we agreed.

Did you?

- Of course not.

They're just making it up.

But Mikael, I was thinking...

about those pills.

I threw them out. There's no way I'm

going to take any more of that stuff.

Okay.

Is he okay,

the guy I hit?

He's fine.

He got off quite lightly.

Nobody seems to have suffered

any lasting damage.

I'm really sorry about what happened.

I don't know what got into me.

Anyway, we offer counseling

to all the participants.

Well... I don't think I need it. I think

some of the others need it more.

Yes, but it may be good

to talk things through anyway.

I'll see how things go.

Hello...!

Good morning.

Have you been out rowing?

- No, I just stopped by to say hello.

How sweet...

Actually I need to ask you a favor.

Can Selma stay the weekend?

- Of course.

Then we could go away somewhere.

This weekend?

But I was going to see my mother.

Oh.

When did you decide that?

I've been meaning to do it for ages.

And she's not got much time left.

You never mentioned that.

I understand Mikael.

I still feel bad about not

seeing Dad more before he died.

You do?

It's just a couple of days, Sigrid.

Yes.

How long are you thinking?

Why should a few people ruin the

chances I was given by those pills?

The changes have happened

almost imperceptibly.

I don't know exactly

what's happening.

But I feel good about the results.

When you've always tried to stay

on the track, it's nice to leave it.

Of course, I can't go on

with the scans and blood tests.

Everything will be

much simpler and more primitive.

I need to keep checking my blood

pressure and physical condition.

Eat healthily.

Work out regularly.

Try to get eight hours' sleep

every night.

I need to stay away

from Sigrid for a while.

Without meaning to,

she's limited my freedom.

Down here I can proceed

without interruption.

This is day 29.

I have enough pills for four months.

I 'll try to let whatever

comes along inspire me.

If I keep an open mind,

there's nothing to worry about.

It's good to be back.

Hello?

Is Anton there?

Hello?

- Anton?

No.

- Did I get the wrong number?

Maybe not...

- Does Anton still work there?

I can't tell you. What do you want?

- lsn't this Marstal Supermarket?

Who am I speaking to?

- Sorry. My name is Soren Karlsen.

I'm married to Anton's sister.

We were so happy when we heard

he had a job in your shop.

But it's been over two months

since we heard from him.

Anton doesn't work here anymore.

Do you know where he's gone to?

Yes, Anton died.

He is dead.

When? I mean...

- Well, it was a few weeks ago.

What happened?

- Look, I'm busy.

You'll have to talk to someone else.

- But...

You shouldn't be running here.

It's the hunting season.

It's at your own risk...

My God, it's Mik, isn't it?

I can't believe it. It's Kenneth.

- What the hell!

I didn't recognize you.

- Likewise.

How are you?

- Can't complain.

Are you staying at the house?

- Yes, I came to do some work.

You seem to be in great shape.

Do you play ice hockey still?

It's been a while.

- How about you?

- It's hard to keep up, you know.

It's great to see you.

- Likewise...

Are you still in the public sector?

- Yeah, what about you?

Well, still here as you can see,

looking after the house and stuff.

I still live right overt here.

It's not exactly Graceland, but there's

a cold beer, if you wanna come by...

Sounds nice, but I have a lot to do.

- There's always time for beer.

Esben and Rickard

will be there tomorrow.

Are you still in touch with them?

- On and off.

You won't believe this,

but Esben is with the police now.

They're great guys.

You should drop by tomorrow.

I should be back in a month or so.

I'll pop in then.

Don't worry too much, Mik...

It'll give you a headache.

I'd better get on with things...

It was good to see you.

You too.

See you...

Well, what do you know, it's Mik.

How nice.

You're sure it's okay?

- 'Course. Come on in.

We're right in here.

It's Mik.

- What the hell...!

Hi, Mikael

- Hi, Rickard... Esben.

Long time, no see...

- Grab a seat.

Thanks.

How's the match?

- Well...

It depends

who you support.

The score is 0-0, moron.

Well, what's up, Mikael? How long

is it since you've been down here?

Well, how long is it, Kenneth?

- 20 years, I guess.

Time flies.

What about your mother?

Is she still alive?

Yeah. She's at the nursing home now.

Not doing much.

Is she still f***ing around?

Well, she is getting old, you know...

There must be plenty to choose from

in a nursing home though.

Why don't you both shut up.

More beers, anyone?

Selma, tell Grandma

what you've just had.

Glandular fever.

- Kissing disease.

It was no fun.

- Who've you been kissing?

I don't know.

That's the funny thing. If Dad was

here, he would have punched him.

Hi, it's me. I tried to catch

you on your mobile. I can't...

We miss you.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry I was so angry

when you called the other day.

You can stay longer if you want.

Just call, if... something, okay?

Okay.

Bye, darling.

Hi, Mik.

- What's up?

I just wanted to say I'm sorry about

those two, when you came over.

Don't worry about it.

- They haven't changed a bit.

It looks that way.

Rickard can't take you're being

cleverer than him. He never could.

I know. In his case,

it doesn't take much, though.

I remember

the first time I was up here.

Your dad was singing and

playing that old guitar in there...

Nothing Like that ever happened

in my world.

And then your mother

made hot chocolate for us.

Do you think she'll ever

come back here?

My mother? No... No.

She wasn't particularly happy here.

She was heartbroken when my dad

died. I didn't understand it back then.

You weren't very old at the time.

Do you remember all the big dreams

and schemes we had?
